Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups canned peach halves (drained, reserve juice)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for sprinkling on top)
  • Reserved peach juice (about ¼ cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Set your baking dish aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained peach halves, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to your baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Pour in the melted butter and reserved peach juice. Stir until a thick, sticky batter forms; do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peaches, leaving some peaches visible. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly on top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until peach juices bubble and topping is golden and slightly crisp. Tent with foil after 30 minutes if topping browns too quickly.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes to thicken the filling.
  9. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use almond flour for gluten-free version; substitute butter with coconut oil for dairy-free; pecans can be swapped with walnuts or omitted for nut allergies. Let cobbler cool before serving to thicken filling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
